Rani Mukerji amid chatter about how much Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway earned: ‘Not just about how much a film collects…’

Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, which was reportedly made on a Rs 25 crore budget, became the second post-pandemic low budget film to achieve success at the box office. The film was critically appreciated by film critics and audiences alike.

She added, “There is a lot of misconception about what a hit means and I think people should pay attention to this before passing judgement if a film is profitable. A good film will always bring people to the theatres and their gender has no role to play.” Rani, further emphasised on the need she feels to represent women correctly in films.

She said, “As an actor, your vision for cinema and roles will constantly evolve but one thing that’s constantly stayed for me is the way I wanted to portray and represent women on screen. Women are the backbone of a family and the society and I think, as an actor, I have a responsibility to show this to as many people as possible across my country and the world.”

Rani spoke about how she always wanted to play fiercely independent and self-reliant women in films. She said, “So, if you see films like Black, Veer Zaara, Mardaani series, Yuva, No One Killed Jessica, Hichki or even my latest film Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway, to name a few, the girls I play are central to the plot, the sheroes that people have adored and accepted for being who they are.”
